It's a masculine name, but it has been used for girls in recent years.

It looks like a bad way to spell Yvonne, but if that's what you like, go for it. You are not alone.

In all English speaking countries it is perfectly legal to name a girl Evan, and there is at least one well-known example, the actress Evan Rachel Wood:http://www.evanrachelwood.info/

Anything can be a girl's name if it's used on a girl, but that doesn't make it a girl's name. I have heard of Evan being used on girls before.
